Have reflected on the recent RNS contents…it seems to me like it was deliberately issued to dampen our recent enthusiasm and cause the SP to dump back down to the previous range before the recent pump SP level. Summary thoughts as follows:
Next Stonepark asset related drilling results realistically look like being circa 6 months away at the backend of 2025 or even into H1 2026 if the weather adversely impacts on the schedule, whilst G11 in the field are now focusing fully on their Ballywire asset drilling. ARK % share of Stonepark looks like it will continue to dilute over time, as they don’t have funds to contribute.
As for ARKs lithium/Manganese assets they seem borderline prospective and need more money spending on them to progress from their current early stage status to see if they have sufficient future value. This is going to be difficult to fund in the near term whilst the Lithium sector is on the floor and out of favour with investors. As for the remaining gold exploration asset they have retained, it’s a long term sleeper.
On financials side….Placing is due tbh…last one I note was done over a year ago. If they can get it away again at 0.25p then JT will see that as being a win. Probably he will need to throw in cheap warrants this time around in order to get some investor interest for partaking, which typically adds to the future selling overhang.
So unfortunately seems it’s looking pretty bleak here going into the H2 2025 period if being honest. The only thing that could come along and save our day would be Glencore near term buying out of G11 and consequently wanting to buy ARKs share of stonepark, but I really don’t see this scenario happening in the near term with a significant worldwide recession still being predicted by many to happen within this decade. They will likely just continue to watch G11 slowly prove up their Ballywire asset, etc.
DYOR.
